TN Right to Life is supporting a bill that would mandate abortion providers to have a post a sign that it is against the law for anyone regardless of relationship to you to coerce you into having an abortion. This bill is starting to weave its way through the legislative process but is already meeting some resistance. A point brought up brings an interesting question. The Tennessee Medical Association brought up a concern that about posting in doctor's offices would be a" burden" to the doctor.
Ed Albin of Tennessee Right to Life says, "It would seem that another
concern is that such signage would alert pro-life patients that their physician or facility participates in the practice of abortion."
Here is my question: If you went to your doctor for your annual exam or a specific concern and saw a sign that discussed a law against coerced abortion, would this cause you to change doctors since this alerts you that your doctor performs abortions??
It reminded me of an experience I had with when I went to a new doctor in Nashville that was an OB GYB specialist. When I was ushered back to the exam room I saw a huge sign on her door that said KERRY/EDWARDS....THE REAL DEAL. I was stunned because the election has been over with for over four years at that time. This led me to question the nurse if this doctor was pro abortion or had ever done abortions. The nurse was evasive and I elected to leave without seeing the doctor. Am I extreme? Perhaps. But would this signage make you question your doctor and perhaps change practitioners??
What do you think?

Right there with you. If I knew that my OB/GYN thought no more of the life of the unborn and the health of his/her patients as to perform abortions I would be out the door looking for a new doctor. I don't care how much I liked that doctor (and you all know it is important to find an OB/GYN that you like!).
